OK. /dev/mouse is not soft linked to the correct character device as per
your original post.

This would indicate that /dev/psaux is the correct device.

The test above confirmed that /dev/mouse is not linked to your mouse
device file, so using /dev/mouse will not work with gpm.
Here is a sample of the gpm.conf file from my home machine --
device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=ms3
type=imps2
append=""
Run gpmconfig as root. There is a test portion of the configuration,
which will give you an indication if gpm is going to work before you
commit the changes.
